Ingredients

24 cherry tomatoes

1 small ripe avocado

1 tbsp. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. coarse salt

2 oz. jalapeño or tomato-and-olive Jack cheese

Directions

With a serrated knife, cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top of each cherry tomato. With a melon baller, scoop out the seeds, leaving the shell of the tomato intact.

In a small bowl, mash together avocado, lime juice, and salt until blended. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon avocado mixture into each tomato. Top with a piece of cheese. Skewer each tomato to make a lollipop.
